It is ironic that Mr. Obama visits the raid team to thank them, but seems not care much of possibility to expose them. Secretary Gates tells: “– frankly, a week ago Sunday, in the Situation Room, we all agreed that we would not release any operational details from the effort to take out bin Laden. […]

I ‘d rather move on. But strange information keeps coming out. According to NY times below, Navy Seals were authorized to fight against Pakistani military and police if necessary. 2 backup helicopters were planned to wait in Afghanistan, but Mr. Obama changed them to go with the raid group.
